Cineworld has teamed up with BLAST to bring next month’s BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 to the big screen with the final set to be shown live across 40 cinemas in 8 different countries.
Last September, France President Emmanuel Macron’s wish to host a Counter-Strike Major was realised when BLAST announced plans to host the country’s first ever CS Major and last ever CS:GO Major.
Alexander Lewin, VP of Distribution and Programming at BLAST, said:
“The BLAST.tv Paris Major is the pinnacle of the annual esports and competitive gaming calendar. We are delighted to team up with Cineworld to bring this unique event live to the big screen in 12 countries worldwide, and enable fans who cannot be in Paris to experience the event in the comfort of their community.”
